I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager

Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
